Best private film history. The game between the sexes in the claustrophobic space, the question and speculation of existentialism, and the reconstruction of the post-war Japanese social model. Written by Abe Public House, directed by Emissary Hiroshi Kawara, and scored by Toru Takemitsu, it is a masterpiece of film history created by the right time and place and people. The desert in the film is like a sea of time and space, firmly sealing those who step into this place, and slowly engulfing the dignity and hope of what is a human being. The unfortunate insect lovers were tortured by the gravel to the critical point of sociality and animality, and then used their remaining rationality to find the meaning of living in such a space. The photography is shocking, and the opening sound and picture are separated to clarify the metaphorical theme; the flow of sand dunes reflects the actions and psychology of both sexes; insects and gravel-covered body parts frequently appear in close-up, highlighting the animal nature of man under the conflict between man and the environment. What's interesting is the attitude towards science in the film. Science seems to have a kind of inspiration to the East, and there is always a kind of mysticism in science in the eyes of the director...

[BAMPFA] 2018.1.19.7pm Aside from the "allegorical, too allegorical" part (of course, the multi-layered and interfering fables are also worth analyzing), the body in the sand and the close-up interspersed to achieve the surging desire in the infinite repression, It's worth the experience.
